This paper provides an overview of the Chemical Propulsion System (CPS) of the First Turkish Lunar Mission, an ongoing space research mission of the Space Technologies Research Institute of the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TUBITAK UZAY) under the National Space Program coordinated by Turkish Space Agency (TUA). The mission will be the first of a two-phase program which will perform a Lunar orbit acquisition, carry out scientific observations and attain hard landing on the lunar surface as part of its main objectives. The mission and propulsion system requirements are briefly introduced. The system architecture of the CPS is then provided in terms of flow schematic and physical layout. Finally, the fundamental system parameters of CPS are specified.
